Pick-Up Lines: What’s Cheesy, Sleazy and Actually Cute

Getting picked up happens to every woman. You could be single, blatantly out with your boyfriend or have a wedding ring glittering on your finger—guys have no shame. Our Shecky’s Staffers (kept anonymous to protect innocent victims) weighed in on some of the best (er, worst?) one-liners they’ve ever heard. Plus, we’ve added snappy comebacks that’ll surprise your wannabe suitors (and hopefully ward them off for good!).

Pick-up: “How much does a penguin weigh? Enough to break the ice! Hi, I’m…”

Rating: Cheesy

Comeback: “If you’re asking me out on a date to the zoo, I think I’m allergic to a new species: GUYS.”

Pick-up: “You, me, an 8-ball and a bottle of Grey Goose. How does that sound?”

Rating: Sleazy

Comeback: “Funny you should ask! My 8-ball says, ‘See you never.’”

Pick-up: A guy asked me if I know how to work a BlackBerry. So I said, “Sure, I’ll help you.” He goes, “I can’t understand how to get that number (points to my phone) into this phone (points to his own).”

Rating: Clever

Comeback: If he’s cute, give him your number!

Pick-up: “Smile baby, life’s not that bad.”

Rating: …Weird

Comeback: Put on your craziest smile, and go on your merry way. We don’t think he wants to date an insane person.

Pick-up: “Call me girl, I’m in the yellowpages—under handsome.”

Rating: Cheesy

Comeback: “Funny, I’m under not available.”

    I’ve heard some doozies, but my large-chested friend has heard some amazing ones, including this award-winner:

    “I’ve loved you since time began.”

    “But I just met you.”

    “That’s when time began.”

    Really?! And yes he was dismissed just like all the others.

    My friend and I once got “My friend and I though we’d be lucky and meet two beautiful women like you”

    My reply “looks like your luck just ran out”. And we left.

    I don’t think that many guys use lines anymore, at least not the ones I run into. That’s a good thing.
